The Last Post 2026 $2 ‘C’ Mintmark Coloured Fine Silver Proof Coin
This striking new coloured proof coin from the Royal Australian Mint commemorates the Last Post — a military bugle call which traditionally signaled the end of the day's activities, and which has become a profound element of military funerals and commemorative services.
At the close of each day, a poignant Last Post Ceremony is held at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Visitors to the Memorial lay wreaths at the Pool of Reflection; the story of one of the service personnel listed on the Roll of Honour is told; and the Last Post is sounded.
The Last Post can also be heard at Anzac Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country, its solemn notes setting the tone for remembrance and reflection.
The coin design depicts a bugler sounding the Last Post in front of a war memorial. The colours of nightfall are recalled by the dusky orange and deep purple hues of the printed circle in the centre of the coin.

2027 $5 Lunar Series - Year Of The Goat Silver Proof Domed Coin
To mark the Lunar Year of the Goat in 2027, the Royal Australian Mint proudly presents this stunning silver proof coin. The reverse design depicts a goat against a backdrop of persimmons, which symbolise prosperity and good fortune. Meanwhile, an ornate representation of the Lunar calendar borders the King's effigy on the coin's obverse.
The Goat is the eighth of the twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac. According to legend, twelve anima s participated in a race across a river to allow the Jade Emperor to establish the order of the zodiac signs. The Goat finished in eighth place, followed by the Monkey and the Rooster; the three animals had worked together to the river on a raft.
People born in the Year of the Goat are said to be creative and compassionate. Famous international Goats include entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates, tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, and musicians Norah Jones and Ed Sheeran. Well-known Australian Goats include actress Nicole Kidman and musician Tina Arena.
